Using Tomcat AND Introducing MIDP 2

by
ONJava Newsletter for 12/19/2002

Dear Reader,

ONJava.com's Using Tomcat columnist James
Goodwill returns to continue his coverage of the JK 1.2
connectors. This week he has a tutorial that shows how to
configure the Apache Jakarta Tomcat container to deploy JSP
and Servlet-based applications on Microsoft's IIS server.

Also this week, O'Reilly Network contributor Timothy
Appnel reviews the new Mobile Information Device Profile
(MIDP) 2.0 standard. MIDP 2.0 improves on the original
specification for the open development platform of mobile
devices by introducing secure networking, extended network
connectivity, and audio and gaming capabilities. In this
article, Timothy highlights these new capabilities and
briefly discusses their significance to developing next-
generation mobile applications.

To conclude the week, we begin a new book excerpt series
from O'Reilly's new "Java Enterprise Best Practices."
In it, author Jason Hunter talks about Servlet best practices;
specifically, he shows how to work effectively with
Servlets.
